Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to the field of transport refrigeration systems and methods of operating the same, and more particularly to the integration of disparate power sources or energy storage device.
  • Transport refrigeration systems such as containers, truck, trailer, and bus, depend on fossil-fuel driven prime movers to provide the electrical energy needed to run the components of the transport refrigeration system. This fuel consumption is over and above what is required to operate the vehicle and becomes a significant added cost of operation.
  • Solar panels have been used to support truck refrigeration. However, these related art systems manually switch between a fuel driven engine and the solar panel to separately provide the energy to the transport refrigeration system and required extra container insulation and downsizing of the original equipment to which the solar power is being applied to, which leads to either a performance penalty or a higher initial cost due to redesign or both.
  • US 2008/257622 discloses a transport refrigeration unit of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention provides a transport refrigeration system, comprising: a compressor; a first electric motor that provides a motive force to the compressor; at least one fan; a second electric fan motor that provides a motive force to the fan; a solar PV electrical power source; an electric energy power source; a engine driven generator electrical power source; and a power management controller coupled to route power selectively and concurrently from two of the electrical power sources to provide electrical power to the first motor and the second motor, wherein the received power is provided responsive to a dynamic load of the transport refrigeration system characterised in that: the power management controller comprises: an AC power bus to connect the engine driven generator electrical power source to the first electric motor and the second electric fan motor; a first control circuit connected to control the generator electrical power source; a first DC/ AC converter connected to the solar PV electrical power source and the AC power bus; a second control circuit connected to control the solar PV electrical power source; a second DC/ AC converter connected to the energy storage electrical power source and the AC power bus; and a third control circuit connected to control the energy storage electrical power source.
  • a transport refrigeration unit is used to maintain proper conditions within a transport cargo space.
  • the transport refrigeration unit can regulate conditioned air delivery by the transport refrigeration unit to a container or the transport cargo space.
  • the transport refrigeration unit can be under the direction of a controller that can operate a transport refrigeration system including a power management capability.
  • Embodiments of power management configurations and control architectures can integrate solar power into the electrical system of a transport refrigeration system.
  • Embodiments of power management systems and methods can integrate solar power into the electrical system of a transport refrigeration system to ensure real-time allocation of energy from disparate power sources into the refrigeration system, both as a function of load or demand, as well as of solar energy availability.
  • Embodiments of power management system can integrate solar power into the electrical system of a transport refrigeration system with no loss of functionality to the container during maintenance or shipping and handling of the container.
  • Embodiments of power management system can combine solar power into the electrical system of a transport refrigeration system and use peak power tracking to integrate use of the solar generated power.
  • solar fabrics are used and attached to surfaces of the container or trailer body to allow removal and re-installation depending on operational needs (e.g., in the field).
  • One embodiment according to the application can include a control module for a transport refrigeration system for controlling an improved all-electric transport refrigeration system that receives its compressor drive motor power and all other electrical power concurrently from a combination of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system and fossil fuel driven prime movers.
  • PV solar photovoltaic
  • One embodiment of a transport refrigeration system according to the application can include a power control module to control concurrent supply of electrical energy from a solar PV system, an engine driven generator, and batteries.
  • Transportation refrigeration systems can be offered in diverse architectures, for example, for use with trucks, truck-trailers, and containers.
  • Refrigerant vapor compression systems used in connection with transport refrigeration systems are generally subject to more stringent operating conditions than in air conditioning or commercial refrigeration applications due to the wide range of operating load conditions and the wide range of outdoor ambient conditions over which the refrigerant vapor compression system must operate to maintain product within the cargo space at a desired temperature.
  • the desired temperature at which the cargo needs to be controlled can also vary over a wide range depending on the nature of cargo to be preserved.
  • the refrigerant vapor compression system must not only have sufficient capacity to rapidly pull down the temperature of product loaded into the cargo space at ambient temperature, but also operate efficiently at low load when maintaining a stable product temperature during transport.
  • transport refrigerant vapor compression systems are subject to cycling between an operating mode and standstill mode, e.g. , an idle state.
  • Fig. 1 is a diagram that shows an exemplary embodiment of a transport refrigeration system.
  • a trailer refrigeration system 20 is schematically illustrated with a compressor 22.
  • a compressing mechanism 24, an electric compressor motor 26 and an interconnecting drive shaft 28 are all sealed within a common housing of the compressor 22.
  • the compressor 22 is a variant of a 06D compressor manufactured by Carrier Corporation.
  • a power management system 40 that is capable of fully powering the internal electric motor 26 of the compressor preferably also provides power to satisfy the electrical requirements of other portions of the system 20 as will be explained.
  • the power management system 40 can integrate a plurality of disparate power sources into the system 20.
  • the power sources can include a solar PV system, batteries, and fuel driven prime movers (e.g., diesel engines).
  • a controller 42 which may be a commercially available microprocessor, can be used to control power usage in the system 20 or incorporated into the power management system 40.
  • Operations of the refrigeration system 20 can be described starting at the compressor 22, where the refrigerant enters the compressor and is compressed to a higher temperature and pressure. Refrigerant gas then moves into the air-cooled condenser 44. Air flowing across a group of condenser coil fins and tubes 46 can cool the gas to its saturation temperature. The air flow across the condenser can be energized by a condenser fan assembly 50 having two fans.
  • the illustrated example includes fan 52, electrical condenser fan motor 54 and fan 56 having electrical motor 58.
  • the controller 42 can regulate power supply to the fan motors 54, 58.
  • the gas can condense to a high pressure/high temperature liquid and flow to a receiver 60 that provides storage for excess liquid refrigerant during low temperature operation.
  • the liquid refrigerant can pass through a subcooler heat exchanger 64, through a filter dryer 66 that can keep the refrigerant cool and dry, then to a heat exchanger 68 that can increase the refrigerant subcooling, and then pass to a thermostatic expansion valve 70.
  • the air flow across the evaporator can be energized by an evaporator fan assembly 80.
  • the illustrated example includes three fans 82, 84 and 86 that are respectively powered by electric fan motors 88, 90, and 92.

  • a thermostatic expansion valve bulb or sensor can be located on the evaporator outlet tube. The bulb can control the thermostatic expansion valve 70, to control refrigerant super-heating at the evaporator outlet tubing.
  • Exemplary embodiments of transport refrigeration systems integrate three energy systems: the generator for pull-down and off-solar operation, the solar films, and the battery system.
  • Each of these energy sources has a distinct set of power characteristics that need to be conditioned before being fed between each other, or to the loads.
  • the generator puts out 3 -phase AC, while the solar PV and the battery produce DC power.
  • the power management system 40 can actively manage these energy sources to ensure performance, reliability, availability and/or energy efficiency.
  • inclusion of a storage system which can be selected using a trade-off between weight, cost, and size, can provide dual functionality of capturing solar energy in excess of load, as well as a source for starting up the generator's engine.

  • the load 250 can include the AC driven and DC driven components.
  • the power management system 40 can supply the power needed for the electrical motors associated with the compressor 22, condenser fan assembly 50, and the evaporator fan assembly 80.

  • power management system and controller 440 is electrically coupled to generator 310, solar PV system 320 and electric energy source 330 (e.g., rechargeable battery).
  • the power management system and controller 440 can connect the generator 310, the solar PV system 320, and electric energy source 330 to an AC power bus coupled to components of the transport refrigeration unit.
  • the generator 310 is connected to the compressor 22, AC fans and also optional additional electrically powered components 356. Driven by controller 442, the generator 310 can supply AC power to single phase loads (e.g., fans) and three phase loads (e.g., the compressor 24).

  • the power management system can size the incorporated storage system like a battery set so that the engine can operate (e.g. , always) at a steady condition or at least a much more predictable condition and/or reduce an amount of bouncing around or changing speeds/power level. Accordingly, the power management system can control whenever there is excess power it goes to store the excess electric energy for example in storage such as a battery and likewise, when there is insufficient power, the deficit can be drawn from storage or solar PV system.
  • the engine can be operated at a constant speed or peak efficiency point or RPM.
  • Embodiments of transport refrigeration systems and methods for same can integrate and provide concurrent use of the solar energy and/or the solar PV system 220.
  • Electrical characteristics of solar PV films have power output that increases linearly with voltage up to a peak 610 as shown in FIG. 4 . Beyond the peak 610, the output can drop rapidly.

  • a maximum point tracking e.g., solar power peak tracking
  • the solar energy usage can still be increased or maximized by incorporating a health-monitoring system in the power management controller.

  • Battery lifetime can be increased differently by type of battery, but an exemplary battery can have increased of maximum lifetime with charge levels between 40-60% or 25-75% (e.g., NiMH), which can provide secondary control requirements for the generator and solar PV system that can be implemented using exemplary converters.
  • One exemplary energy management control can always keep selected battery control conditions (e.g., when to charge and withdraw electrical energy), then receive solar PV power at the controlled or maximum amount that does not conflict with the battery condition, then drive generator to achieve reduced overall power consumption over a selected time period.
